RATHER HARD OX HORE^KI 




A row on Broadway in wlticli 
the Count fared badly. 

II was a dense crowd that surged in front 
of Partington. Sclanders & Co.’s yesterday 
morning about ten o’clock. Everyone 
seemed bent on seeing the tight which was 
in full swing on the side walk. Owing to 
limited stature of i*ue of the combatant — 
ants— a fat little man in a fur-lined over- 
coat, who gave as his name Count Horeski 
—nothing could be seen but the head and 
shoulders of a tall young fellow, who 
seemed to be holding and shaking some- 
thing as a terrier might do a rat. 

The polic** at just arrived on tbe scene and 
terrier and rat were taken to the station. 
There matters were satisfactorily arranged 
and the Count emerged still much agitated 
and with neck-gear father out of order. “I 
have really no complaint to make,” said 
Count Horeski: “The young man accosted 
me rather familiarly, so as to attract at- 
tention ; I have, however, really no complaint, to 
make.” 

The young man. who refused to give his name, 
when seen on his homeward way seemed 
to view the matter in a somewhat differ- 
ent light as he admitted that it was his 
earnest desire to shake a little impertin- 
ence out of the Count so as to make him 
more fit for ladies’ society. 

On investigation however it seems that

Failure of a large Dry floods 
Concern. 




The failure is reported of the well-known 
dry goods firm of Partington, Sclander* <v 
Co. Various causes art* assigned, the most 
probable being the large amount of cash 
withdrawn by Solomon Sclanders when he 
retired from the firm a year ago. Much 
sympathy is felt for the sole remaining 
partner, who must have been bearing a 
heavy burden in the administration and fi- 
nanceering of his colossal business.

Satf sequel to Thursday’s melee 
on Broadway. 

William W. Corderwell, the millionaire 
real estate owner and railroad king, died 
very suddenly last night. His end was 
undoubtedly hastened by learning what had 
been, in consideration of his critical stai<> 
of health, carefully kept from him. The 
news that his favorite nephew had laid 
hands on fount Horeski. threw the de- 
ceased gentleman into such a state of 
agitation that he burst a blood-vessel. 
Death resulted within an hour thereafter.

A COUNT ARRESTED FOR 
FORGERV. 


A most extraordinary fraud un- 
earthed by the police. 

Yesterday Count Horeskl was arrested on 
a charge of forgery. Pull details are want- 
ing, but it is believed that the legal firm 
of Marshall, Littlefield & Simpkins have, 
with the assistance of the police, unearthed 
one of the most extraordinary frauds of the 
century. The sole beneficiary under the will 
of the late William W. Corderwell, was a 
Miss Amanda Peterson, a lady of about 
seventy years of age. It seems that shortly 
after the death of Corderwell, Count Hor 
eski found out this lady and made several 
calls, representing himself as instructed by 
the deceased to apprise her of her good for- 
tune. The old lady being very deaf and the 
partition very thin, the neighbors had no 
difficulty in hearing, when, in tones which 
were not the whisners of love, the Count 
ere long proposed marriage. Thar he 
thought it was a bargain seemed evident, 
but Miss Peterson showed that she did not 
so understand it by one day summoning her 
listeners to eject her visitor on the ground 
that he was mad. A stormy scene had 
proceeded in which the neighbors overheard 
the Count threaten to break the wil: if she 
did not marry him. Subsequent investiga- 
tions have proved that the will was a for- 
gery by the Count. 

The entire estate will now go to the late 
millionaire’s nephew, He -tor Arlington, 
who, It is understood, will make a liberal 
allowance to Miss Peterson.
